Thanks to Juan Trippe of Brain Machine, Micronesia for sending me the auction url for this Radio 4 style roving radio journalist piece of equipment. All the way from the time of tape, leather look case and strap.I'm gonna get out in the field!

After many long days, nights and weeks I've finally finished the artwork for the new Super Furry Animals 9th (I know!!) LP Dark Days/Light Years. I've been collaborating with the legendary Japanese psychedelic art maestro Keiichi Tanaami on the covers in a transcontinental brain meld via cosmic thermailoids. It was quite a commute let me tell you. The first taste of the collaboration can be viewed on the Super Furry Animals download page with the rest of the artwork exploding onto the on coming formats available mid April.There are also plans afoot for an exhibition of the artwork produced for SFA and new collaborative pieces possibly in Japan quite soon. More news to follow on that one....

For those who dig SFA, hope you enjoy the LP and the artwork, it's been on high and I rotation at Monsterism HQ for some time.Here's the 'packshot' as a teaser...I'll just mention gatefolds, ahem...

Did a day's filming for Blue Peter today! On air (I think) on April 7th in the U to the K. Bagged a presenter's badge (lockable pin, groovy).:))))))p.s. check out SFA's Lovekraft LP diorama in the top left of the picture, gathering much dust on the top shelf...
